Dannable Southern Race Prejudice to the Fore Again—Kept Company With a North Carolina "White" Girl. Raleigh, N. C.—Mutilation and masked (K. K. K.) mob "justice" has resulted in a suit for damages. The attentions of a Jew for a Carolina white girl and her false accusation against him, resulting in his castration by whites in 1925, is the basis for the suit. The victim, Joseph Needleman of Philadelphia, who charges that the attack was prompted by race prejudice, is seeking $100,000 compensatory and punitive damages of 32 defendants with homes Martin Wayne and Lamar tess, this state. Twenty-eight persons either were fired or sentenced, at the time, for the crime, the leaders receiving long terms in the state prison. Needleman, in his charge says that he had courted Ethel Griffin, (white), of Wilmington, N. C., for only a short time, when youths in that community warned him that a Jew could not show attentions to a white girl in that part of the South and warned him to cease. The girl made many accusations against Needleman which later proved false. She said that he made improper advances while out riding with her and attacked her. A short time after attacking her she abducted token to a wood by a band of kluxers. An operation (castration) was performed upon him. Arrest followed the crime and members of the mob hustled to turn state's evidence. Needleman has filed his suit in federal district court at Washington, D. C. IS BELL AN "AFRO"? He Says Not, While His Pretty "High-brown" Wife Says He Is— Have One Child. Louisville. Ky.—Sued by pretty brown-skinned Mattie Bell, for maintenance for herself and child. Wm. Bell, ex-police chief, denied in court, recently, that he was colored or married. Mrs. Bell's attorney claims that the couple was married in Chicago in 1912 under an assumed marriage, and the case until Sept. 14th in order to bring this evidence to court. The case created a sensation, of course, in upper circles because the Bells are well-known and it had been generally accepted that they were married. For many years, Bell was generally considered colored. He lived in the colored neighborhood, ate, slept, and worked with colored associates. No one thought of him as white. In 1917 he became more prosperous. He was appointed to the police force and became a lieutenant, later night chief. Later he was assistant U. S. marshal. From this time on his visits to colored neighborhoods became less frequent and more guarded. Finally, Mrs. Bell her attorney says, went to Chicago to live in order to "keep under cover." She claims the ex-police man visited her there, but after the baby came his visits ceased. In reply, Bell's attorney declares that he is not married to Mrs. Bell, that he is not the father of her child and not legally nor morally due to make any financial settlement. Just one of many like cases in the South, it seems. SPEED-DRIVER KILLED! Spectators at the Akron-Cleveland Speedway Contests, Last Sunday, Sure Had Some Thrills Alright. Akron, O.—Thrills which were not on the program and which cost the life of John Stewart, age 35, of Columbus, were plentiful in the racing program for our peed-drivers, Sunday, at the Akron-Cleveland speedway. Stewart went over the top railing to his death in the eighteenth lap of a twenty-five-mile race. He was in fourth position, and was estimated as driving sixty miles an hour, when he lost control. The car turned over on him twenty-five feet below the crest of the track. He died almost instantly. It was the same car which turned over on him a mile behind on the Northampton dirt track, last year. James Williams of Cleveland, was thrown from his seat as his car hit the top railing, but he clung to the wheel and brought the speeding machine to a stop. Charles Warfield of this city, another driver, was injured when his car turned over twice. BERT GAVE HIM FIFTY! Herman Biringer, for 23 years leader of the theater orchestras in the city and at present musical director of Keith's E. 1055th St. theater, when asked the other day, what was the biggest surprise of his life in the vaudeville theater, replied: "When Bert Williams 'tipped' me for conducting the orchestra to his satisfaction. At rehearsal, I said: 'I hope you won't be so hard to please as some of the actors who imitate you.' He liked that. He was easy to please and easy to work with. On Saturday night he thanked me and handed me a bill, which I didn't look at until later, when I found that it was a fifty dollar gold note."

Our Elks Sink Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars in New York and Our Knights of Pythias a Like Sum in Chicago and There Are Others, Many Others! SHOULD OUR BOYS AND GIRLS ENTER AND FINISH HIGH SCHOOL? It is rather humiliating to admit it, but it must be. We are a race of children; not in age, but in experience; not in strength, but in united purpose; not in observation, but in a woeful lack of capacity to rightly analyze what we see. Yes, brother, despite the progress we have made,—and we have made much—we are still a race of children. This question of yearly cost for entertainment ought to be given more than a passing consideration by thoughtful Elks. There is another impressive lesson which the coming of Elkdom to our city teaches: The organization is sadly in need of new possibilities in the order for a long pull and a concentrated pull upwards are almost infinite. A hundred thousand dollars! That's money enough to open the finest department store conducted by Negroes in the East.

My dear Editor:—The near approach of the beginning of the school year has prompted me to address this letter to you with the thought that it may reach many of your readers who may profit by it! From my observations and experience, both as a teacher, in the Cleveland night-school and as lawyer, I do not believe it requires any argument or hardly a second thot to answer this question in the affirmative. Not long ago, I was talking to a prominent Jewish lawyer in the Union Trust Building. He was representing his client and I miss After our business had been completed the conversation drifted to the race question. And this is what he said to me. "My friend, what your people need is education and money to eliminate prejudice and gain more prestige. But, by all means, though, education should be gotten regardless of the sacrifice." Of course I demurred and subsequently replied that many of us were conscious of this fact and were putting forth our best efforts to effect just this very thing. And I further added that we were making extensive inroads, to an appreciable degree, in both of these directions (even tho "money and education" have not "eliminated prejudice" in the case of the Jew.—Editor). However, we need not tell you what the math behind this line. For you can observe and perhaps more conversant on this subject than I. But the fact remains that they have given these things very comprehensive that and study. And are not only getting splendid results but recognition (and "presstige"—Editor) as well by reason of these results from other groups. Now that which we see that is good in any group, enabling it to compete successfully with and often surpass, should be emulated and taken as our beacon light to lead us thru green pastures to higher plains of comfort, equality and happiness as now enjoyed by others. Then, too, the charge has been made that our Central High school is highly manned up of Colored boys and girls (and girls) and Admitting the same to be true, what a regrettable disclosure the last graduating lists reveals. Are they nearly all Colored? Just scan the list of graduates and you will be advised, to your amazement, that about two IN UNION IS STRONG COPY FIVE CENTS ONEY CHILDREN NATIONAL CONVENTIONS, AND LODGES, ETC.

This great waste of money, every year, in pomp show, and during the winter months applying to the city and churches for food, fuel and shoes is a down-right disgrace. This is why we are termed mendicants and parasites in the community by many people. (REV.) H. C. BAILEY. Pastor, Antioch Baptist Church. ND GIRLS ENTER AND H SCHOOL? thirds of them are of Jewish extraction. What, moreover, is the lesson we should learn from this marvelously painful revelation Parents—urge, don't discourage, your boy and girl, to attend and complete the High school course prescribed. Make every possible sacrifice and effort to keep John or Mary in school. Put your shoulder to the wheel of hope, helpfulness and encouragement—and boost like the mischief. Never—no never—let up until you have received the rich blessing of seeing him or her coming home proudly with a diploma in hand and the smile of victory beaming forth. Perhaps, such an experience and exhibition of gift, experience and joy may ultimately give that one the burning desire and vision to attend a higher institution of learning. Perhaps, the trials undergone may stand in good stead to such an extent that very little assistance will be asked from "Dad" or "Ma". Think this over. And perhaps the bread cast upon the water may come back to them, some time in twofold and maybe a hundredfold. Who knows. If not, you have the glorious satisfaction and contentment of knowing, deep down in your heart, that you have done the best you could. Angels can not do more. Once, when a college lad, an old gentleman, who has long since gone to his reward, said to me that he had taken part in a political campaign many years ago in a certain city of Pennsylvania. The candidate whom he supported was successful. And he was offered a position, as a result, paying $150 per month, which would be equivalent to a $200 position now. He was offered a position, as he had to refuse it because of a lack of sufficient education. He said, he vowed, then, to God, that none of his children would ever be compelled to refuse a position for want of sufficient educational training, if they would accept the opportunity he provided. That was his incentive to go to Oberlin and place his two boys and girl in school. One became chief chemist of a certain company in Anaconda, Montana, winning out in a Dumbbell examination over twelve white men. Today he is a consulting engineer with offices in Erie, Pa. May I add that the girl is a teacher in a western city. The second boy is dead. Who knows but that your boy or girl may become another Frederick Douglass or a Phillis Wheatley? Now do you not believe they need an education in this city, a keener than ever before, for the survival of the fittest? Should our boys and girls enter and finish high school? Yes, by all means.

(Bell 'Phone: Cherry 1259) Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans published or circulated in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will im- mediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. 350,000 in Ohio. 40,000 in Cleveland. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1927 Cleveland has had an increase of 600 per cent in its Afro-American population since the war. Municipal Judge Bradley Hull told the Welfare Federation sub-committee on relief and protection, last week, when it met to determine the budget for the E. 40th St. Welfare league, for the coming year. Judge Hull, who is secretary of the association, said that our population of the city in 1917 was approximately 10,000 and today is about 60,000. A very generous estimate. --- Following the lead of Virginia, the Georgia Assembly recently enacted "a race purity law" that requires "the registration of the ancestry of every person in the state" in order to prevent intermarriage. Poor Virginia and Georgia-prejudiced "whitefish". As if such fool legislation would stop it any more than a law in those states forbidding white men and women from practicing a certain kind of "social equality" with colored women and men, respectively. To what depths won't the average fool-southern stoop to cater to his prejudice against our people? --- The white South would not see the iniquity of mob violence, despite the lynching of thousands of "Negroes", until in recent months when "the shoe began to pinch its feet." That is when the Ku Klux Klan of several southern states began its crusade of flogging white men and women. This awakened it, with the result that there have been a number of convictions and good stiff sentences meted out to kluxers—mobocrats. Better late than never, or course. But had that section started this good work, years ago, a good many lives and backs of white men and women, flogged in that section of the country in recent months alone, would have been saved. LORD, HAVE MERCY! Editor W. P. Dabney of the Cincinnati Union, had the following in a recent issue of his paper: "We have in the west end the Negro Civic Welfare league, magnificent temples for the worship of God, scores of stores changed into churches, and ministers, pastors, preachers and missionaries. Surely they pray enough to renovate even Sodom and Gomorrah, but possibly their prayers have for their purpose the attainment of something more material than the moral elevation of a poor people who have been unable to culture as necessary in the civilization of today. White agencies are taking care of the uplift of their people, surely ours should have at heart the development of thers." Here in the East End of Cleveland including "the roaring third", our people have civic leagues, women's clubs and other organizations, a local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., a business league, scores of church-organizations, lodges, many "business and professional men", churches, ministers, pastors, preachers, missionaries galore and still right there under their very noses continues to exist a "Sodom and Gomorrah" that one would think would move even the devil himself to some action looking to relief from an immoral and criminal condition (among their people) that "stinks to high heaven". But, alas, it does not even engage their serious attention. They wink at it because all feel the condition is necessary in order that money can be made out of it. This is the curbstone politicians' claim, too. May God have mercy on all their souls. The devil will not! "UP AGAINST IT". General Organizer A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is somewhat perturbed THE GEEVUM GIRLS over the refusal of the Pullman company to arbitrate the case of the Pullman porters and writes that his program now is to carry the matter to the U. S. emergency board "with a view to its going thorny into the case according to the provisions of the railway labor act", since the Pullman company refused to submit the dispute to arbitration, as suggested by the U. S. mediation board. Of course, our sympathy in this matter is with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters not only because of the justice of their contention, and the Pullman company's refusal, but also because we fear that in the finality "Big Business" influence with the Coolidge administration will find a way to support the Pullman company's stand in the controversy. THE "GET OUT THE VOTE CAM PAIGN". As many know, a very large number of our people in this city and state, as well as elsewhere throuout the North, eligible to vote, are not registered. This because nearly all of them were not accustomed to voting in the South from whence they came in the last ten years. The disfranchisement laws of that section of the country made it impossible for them to vote in the great majority of cases. Atty. Alexander H. Martin of this city has called our attention to the fact that there was issued from New York City on Sept. 5, by John E. Edgerton, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, a statement that the organized industry of the nation would enter on a "Get Out the Vote Campaign" on Nov. 1, to be continued through the present year and up into the presidential campaign of 1928, and that this will be purely an educational effort, meant to arouse all to a realization that good government depends on the complete interest of all its citizens of voting age. Our political leaders and others should see that this "Get Out the Vote Campaign" effort covers the thousands of southern Afro-Americans in the North, who because of their disfranchisement in the South, have never been sufficiently interested, since locating in the North, to register and vote. COBB WON'T GO. A dispatch to the daily papers, Sept. 5, from Montgomery, Ala., announces that Emory Cobb, whose wife was shot to death by Kluxer night-riders at Oneonta, Ala., a year or two ago, will not go there to testify against alleged leaders of the klansmen indicted for murder unless a bond of $10,000 is deposited in a Cleveland bank guaranteeing his safe return to this city, where he has lived for a year or more. Cobb also demands protection by a military body guard while in Georgia—if he goes. Since Gov. A. V. Donahey of this state has flatly refused to grant an extradition order enabling Alabama authorities to take Cobb back to Georgia, there is, as The Gazette announced, several weeks ago, no likelihood of his going there. We repeat, he is right and wise in refusing to do so. CITY MANAGEMENT TO BLAME. Last week Friday night near midnight, as the writer was going home, in E. 30th St. near Central Ave. right in the very heart of the "Roaring third" police precinct, he saw on the southeast corner one of the most unique contests of the many that have taken place in that section in recent months. For several weeks there has been an unusual number of common ordinary drunks and dopes, including hooch-hounds, of course, in the vicinity of Central Ave. and E. 30th St. The contest, last week Friday night, was between a young woman, age about 24, and a young man, age about 27, both staggering drunk or half-crazed by "roaring third hoocht". While at least one hundred men and possibly three or four women stood on all four corners and watched, without making any effort whatever to interfere, the two human derelicts, referred to, fought almost like pugilists. The hooch-crazed contestants knocked one another down repeatedly with fist blows, the woman leading in this respect. She finally landed one on his THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1927 jaw, the momentum of the blow being such as to carry her down on top of him and over him. He then rolled on top of her, showering fist blows on her head and body. Both arose and went at it again. The woman, still fighting like the man, and both loaded with wootch. This went on for nearly a half hour. And no police! The woman was said to have had one of the long curved-blade knives that most of the women of that kind carry in that section, but she did not use it, if she had one. They finally separated, the woman with a female companion walking east on Central Ave. and the man south on E. 30th St. Murders, cutting scraps, fights like the one mentioned, ruining girls of tender years and lesser crimes in the "roaring third" are so numerous and common because of lack of police-patrol-protection and that only. The recent police drive in that precinct, like all the others, only afforded temporary relief from a criminal and immoral condition that "stinks to high heaven" and is what gives rise to a very common statement in that section to the effect that the city management, for some reason or other, does not care to change it—improve it. PRIME SPORT NEWS "Tiger" Trims Anderson. Tiger Trim Anderson. New York City.—Tiger Flowers won a ten-round decision over Joe Anderson (white), of Covington, Ky. at Madison Square Garden, last week Thursday night. In the final round the deacon faced Anderson in an knockout and Anderson in obvious distress. Hitting blindly and always staggering forward, the Kentucky boy warded off the kayo that threatened him several times in the course of the battle. He took plenty of punishment and showed it. Banging away with his left, Flowers opened cuts above and below his opponent's eye, which half-blinded him in the last frame. And they call this "sport". There were no actual knockdowns, although Anderson went down for an instant in the tenth through the force of his own wild lunging after his agile foe. Hornets Win Two More Games. Dimp Miller singed the uniforms of Louisville batters with an assortment of torrid southpaw curves at Forest City park, Monday afternoon, and the Hornets made a clean sweep of the four-game series, coping both ends of the Labor Day holiday bill, 17 to 0 and 8 to 1, and winning both preceding games. After holding Louisville to three hits, Monday, and breezing sixteen in the initial contest, Miller started the second game, but retired after striking out the side in the first inning. Moore finished the game. In the first game, Evans and Miller made two-baggers, and Summers one and Stockard and Evans each two three-base hits; Duff, a home-run. In the second game: Duff and Barnes made two-baggers, and Barnes and Duff, three-baggers. Praise of Jack McVey. Jack McVey, a colored lad, has done much to bring box-fighting back in Cleveland. A year ago the outdoor shows didn't strike a responsive chord with local fistic followers. The attendance this year, however, has exceeded expectations. And much of the trend is due to Jack McVey, a former Cleveland miller it has been our good fortune to look at in a long, long time. We wouldn't tie of McVey on our fist menu week after week. His last time out he was pitted against Pete Latzo, former wetterweight champion. The weights were announced at 154 for McVey and 166 for Latzo. It's our own thing, but it's a lot less scale more than 150. Thus he gave Latzo an edge of at least sixteen pounds and also a tasty pasting, one Pete will remember for a long time to come. Walter Taylor brought McVey before the Cleveland public and is entitled to a vote of thanks for producing a boxer who believes in giving the public value for him with little more throw in for good measure.

The affair was thoroly enjoyed by all. The Gazette congratulates its highly esteemed contemporary, "The Portland (Ore.) Advocate", our leading weekly publication in the Northwest, on reaching its 24th year of continuous publication and wishes it many more, even more prosperous and satisfactory. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Cannady, editor and manager, respectively, like all of the rest of our men and women so engaged in journalism, have had the same gruelling experiences in the business that all of us have passed thru. As a result, they are surely entitled to all of the praise, credit and support our people of their section of the country can possibly give them. ACTION WANTED! Street-car service in Central Ave. grows steadily worse. Several months ago, the Cleveland Railway Co. announced that the line operating in that avenue was the third best producer of revenue in the city. For several months, the patrons of the Central Ave. line have been receiving eleven or twelve minute service. The first of the week, another run was taken off the line which now makes impossible better than 14 or 15 minute-waits for a street-car. It seems to us that since Councilman Wing and her co-workers to his constituents, that Central Ave. car-riders ought to hold a mass meeting and demand of Councilwoman Marie Wing and her co-workers, in the city council from the third district, action that will result in securing not only better street-car service on the Central Ave. line but also street repair work such as has not been given in that section for many months, as well as a number of other greatly needed improvements of various kinds. There is no district in the city of Cleveland that is neglected so severely, and the resistance of a live councilman who has some regard for his constituents' welfare as those resident in the Central Ave. district.

HOW SEGREGATION IS USED AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL TO LOWER OUR STATUS AS CITIZENS. How Much Longer Will Our Self and Race Respecting Press, Pulpit and People Submit to This Rank Injustice? Washington, D. C., (Special). There is more segregation in Washington today under President Coolidge than there has ever been since the Civil War. The beginnings of segregation were under President Kaff. It was greatly extended, under President Wilson; increased, still further, under President Harding; and reached its zenith under President Coolidge. For instance, the largest of our parks President Wilson never troubled, but the present administration has found time and desire to introduce it even there. To many people, segregation is a democratic scheme of insult, but such is not the case. Mr. Taff introduced it in the bureau of engraving. He segregated the census-takers in this city in 1910, restricting with workers to white people, and black to black, often duplicating work as most blocks had white and black residents. And, of all, announced in official capacity that Negroes should not hold office where white people complained. Segregation, then, is a Republican institution and not a Democratic one, it was begun by Republicans, and carried on to its all-embracing extent by Republicans! There is far more of it in the departments, today, than at any time since the Negro first appeared, close upon the close of the Civil War. The picture requirement in the civil service, which makes it next to impossible for a colored lady or gentleman to enter the civil service, since their color is disclosed in their photograph which must accompany papers, is tenaciously on to by our Republican President. Only last week, a colored civil appeared after having the best examination, and after having been telegraphed for by the department. The photograph had failed to tell her true color, and they flatly refused to appoint her when she appeared, and they saw her complexion. Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau with thousands of clerks will not appoint a Negro clerk, and his word is law there, as he is the favorite of Secretary Mollon and President Coolidge. He halls from North Carolina to the home of the once favorite and leader of the segregation forces, Col. Sherrill, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is no use to complain of either of these southern gentlemen. The colored people here who know the President could destroy segregation in the departments of the government, and the photograph requirements in the civil service by the mere nod of his head, are at a loss to understand why he does not put his splendid declarations on democracy into operation here, where it would not even cost him a single vote and where he has full power and absolutely no opposition. They wonder if he is not a firm believer in segregation, especially since segregation is one of the chief tenets of the Ku Klux Klan which has found its "welcome home" in the Republican party, and receives no condemnation from the Republican President. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—In the postfoste segregation is rampant. The faithful colored clerks work under constant humiliation and physical disadvantages. The department maintains a spacious caferta for whites only, where these inferior white clerks can buy appetizing luncheons and chat in comfort while eating, while the colored clerks must bring cold luncheons from home and eat them any place they can. The physical discomfort, disadvantageous as it is, is far less galling to the colored clerks than is the thought of their government taking their taxes, as it takes those of the white for the comfort of the latter, and setting them off as though they were leopers. The injustice stings all the more when they refuse that they are far more capable than the whites, and render the government more intelllective and efficient service—the white man of their attainment being able to get far more lucrative employment. The department goes even farther in its solicitude for whites and neglect of colored. It maintains a well-appointed club room with pool tables and other games, a comfortable lounge, and other equipment for rest, sociability, and recreation, and nothing for these same colored employees. This private club is in the magnificent postoffice building, built and maintained by ALL of the people. In the locker rooms there is segregation, and segregation is even attempted in the toilets. And all of this is against the most dependable and faithful employees. Last year the white employees passed around invitations to the white employees, in the very presence of the colored, to attend a reception to the heads of departments, including the postmaster general, in the postoffice building. It announced dancing and pleading with the clerks for the post-ning with the clerks for the post-ning delivered to the colored clerks. I hurried a protest to the postmaster general the day before it was to come off, and he ordered the postmaster to invite the colored as well as the white. These clerks get around their colored co-workers by giving the function at a local hotel. It is inevitable that the wicked spirit of segregation would express itself in appointments, assignments, and salaries. Colored applicants often passed over through their extense was superior. No Negro, however efficient or old in the service, must ever dream of a promotion to a directive position. The hard, unyielding caste passes whites over him, one after another, though many of the colored employees have won contests in quickness and accuracy in the handling of mail. The colored clerks have dared to form a union which meets regularly and often sends manly and intelligent protests to the postmaster, and appeals from his despair to the institution. It has secured some improvement in their working conditions, but they are still bitter over the huge injustice done to them for nothing else than the color of their skin. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The government print office keeps faith with the government's universal scheme of segregation. Some of the best and brightest of our girls are forced to accept inferior positions there on account of the better and more lucrative avenues of employment being closed to them because of their color. The whites are generally of a very mediocre group, far from equaling our girls in educational equipment, culture, and working efficiency. Yet these superior girls are forced to the latter, of course, having the better working conditions, salaries and recreational facilities. There is a large caterer in this huge structure where all of the employees may go, but there are a few tables in an out-of-the-way section reserved for our employees. I am glad to say that few, very few, of our people patronize the place, preferring a little physical inconvenience to the open, semi-public humiliation of segregation. In toilet facilities, dressing-rooms, and work assignments, wherever possible, the law of segregation is in full force, and, of course, this same undemocratic practice reveals itself on the salary roll and in the hard work of the job, as elsewhere, the inferior whites pass over our superior employees to directive positions, and higher salaries. The whites have a large recreational center in this public building with many fine appointments for rest and amusements. During lunch and dinner hours they repair to this restful retreat for sociability and dance. Last fall, a young Afro-American with a splendid record in his work, felt the injustice of this restful retreat, and that he secured the company of a young lady of the race to take part in the dance. As soon as this couple started to dance the music was abruptly stopped, and the young man reported for attempting to take part in an entertainment provided for employees. He was called to the office, lectured for being 'one of those smart Negroes who believed that he secured the company of a trumped-up charge. He was a night-employee, hence he carried a pistol. Right after the dance incident a fire broke out in the office. He was quickly accused of setting the building aline in revenge for his exclusion from the dance noir. Detectives came to the building to arrest him, and to secure any evidence searched him only to discover the pistol. They quickly dropped the arson charge for the fire unsecured weapons for which he was immediately dismissed. By this severe punishment our employees are taught that there is no way of escape for one who dares to resent the daily insults that their government (under President Coolidge) gives them. Many of the employees have expressed their deeply-wounded feelings to me at being considered a parish by the government whose institutions they are serving so faithfully, and I have taken up a number of cases only to be met by a dental that the conditions complained of exist, and a request for the names of my informants. I knew the fate these informants would suffer so I have never given a single name! The department then taking the position that it cannot take up the case. It is perfectly clear that this iniquitous scheme of segregation is a difficult thing to fight, since the government is so well settled upon it, and the complainants cannot bear witness to it. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Segregation in the bureau of engraving and printing has an interesting history involving President Thomas Woodrow Wilson and members of his family, three heroic young colored women who lost their positions as a result of their protest, and two women who served as a Follette. Shortly after the accession of Mr Wilson to the White House, a mem oer of his family visited the bureau where she saw white and colored girls working together in perfect harmony, oblivious to any thought of race. Shortly thereafter came an order for segregation of the races, and a white lady who had been notated for her philanthropy among our people and who was upon intimate terms at the White House appeared at the bureau to tell our girls to be contented with the new order as "a great Negro leader had taught colored people to stay in their places." Three of the young ladies resisted the order to the last ditch and were summarily dismissed! abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and being poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, and economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop every bit of this damnable segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Senator La Follette lodged a protest with Secretary McAdoo to no avail, and his noble wife began a crusade against the undemocratic innovation. She took the platform here in Washington and Boston before the famous Twentieth Century club. She used the columns of the Senator's magazine, sparing neither space nor vigor of utterance. She thundered against it in our loca a white press, and addressed the national gathering of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York. When our people here were so profoundly discouraged, she came out one stormy afternoon to the Y. M. C. A. urge them to continue the fight for them was at the crises, Oswald Garrison Vilard came to town to attack White House and Cabinet and arouse our people, and the Nation Association secured public in over six hundred influential white papers in the country. The fight checked what was thought to be the intention of the segregators, namely, the elimination of the colored employees from the bureau alt together. The same segregation which some of our people think is the cherished institution of the Democratic party is still there, in all of its fulness, under the administration of the party that Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and Frederick Douglass are helped to found. Our girls are employed there in far larger numbers than in any other branch of the public service. THEY ARE SEGREGATED, they are the teachers and working stations, and of course none are ever thought of for promotions to executive places. They are girls from our best names, most of them with high and normal school training, and fine culture. The white girls are of no such grade, as there is no segregation for them in the great world of things. They have unlimited fields at high wage for even mediocre talents. The best of our girls must take these inferior positions, the inevitable result of segregation, and the need for the issuance of an order destroying this iniquitous practice in all of our government departments, for it not only humiliates the best of the government servants but impairs the government service. (Special to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The treasury department, according to the President's recent acceptance speech, is now under the ablest financial genius since the days of Alexander Hamilton. It is to be remembered that the great Hamilton came from the West Indies, and in that long sweep of history are the President traversed are the mighty Salmon P. Chase, secretary of the treasury in Lincoln's cabinet who, in a national extremity such as this country, has never known, devised the national banking system which financed the Civil War; and Ohio's master financier, John Sherman. These men never knew what segregation was! The present head of the department of internal revenue, Mr. Blain from North Carolina, has not appointed a colored clerk since his incumbency. While his predecessor, Mr. Daniel Roper, a democrat from Texas, appointed and promoted several of them. Since the income tax laws were changed, taxes that the recent war necessitated, this is by far the largest department of the treasury, employing several thousand clerks. Yet Negroes are so scarce there that they can't be noticed. There is the same general complaint here among our clerks and other employees as there is in the other branches of the government—failure to recognize their efficiency when promotions are due; ability to go so far and far no further. The various forms of segregation exist here as well as elsewhere—the restaurants closed or divided along color lines, and special toilet, locker rooms, rest rooms, etc., set off for colored. The toilers for the colored are few in such a large structure. Hence, the segregated clerks are forced to endure physical inconvenience at times, and are forced to travel long distances when they desire to work. The museum maintains a huge, magnificent cafeteria, in the splendid sweep of woodland along our national driveway, where white people of every class can come to rest, dine, and socialize of afternoons and evenings at minimum costs. The white press of the city is constantly telling of the thousands who take advantage of this "delightful retreat," and the festive scene that their presence creates. It seats two thousand diners with space to spare; but not one in the museum. In the taxes he is forced to pay for this luxury for another group! The registrarship of the treasury, which Republican Presidents have given the Negro since Garfield appointed Blanch K. Bruce, is now filled by a white man, and the colored people are congregated in a separate room which is publicly proclaimed as "a colored division." It is a succession of clerks are "working as white" in other divisions, they are promptly transferred to this "colored division." Our people fear that protest against this segregation would result in the abolition of the division altogether; so they remain in a dilemma, fearing to act. Our clerks must accept segregation or elimination, and be poor, with no other opportunities in this southern atmosphere, must take the former. They are depressed at the wrong, but economic stress compels endurance of it. By a single stroke of his pen, President Calvin Coolidge can stop even it, if he can maintain segregation, just as he can condemn that lawless organization the Ku Klux Klan. Washington, b. C.—We wish to call attention to the fact that in the fight against the segregation of our government employees, the Treasury department will most likely be the center of attack, for segregation in several of its bureaus has been most pronounced. This is particularly true of the office of the register of the treasury and the internal revenue bureau. In the former, bearer board walls were maintained until recently. In the latter there have been two cases of discrimination on account of color brought to public view. The words, announcing the election of President Coolidge, were not only the first increase segregation in the departments here was on again at full speed. It had slowed up a little during the campaign. Investigation of Burcaus An investigation of the executive departments and bureaus listed below shows that segregation prevails in them as follows: Office of the Register of the Treasury, there are two segregated sections—one with 30 Afro-American employees and the other with 14. Navy Department — one segregated section of 18 of our employees, as well as a segregated lunch room. Census Bureau — a segregated section of 60 Afro-American employee Bonus Section Bonus section of the War Department—one segregated section of 180 of our employees. Veterans Bureau—a segregated section of 16 employees. Department of Justice—a segregated section of 10 employees in the file room. **Internal Revenue** Internal Revenue Bureau—a segregated section of 7 employees. regated section of 7 employees. Office of the Treasurer of the United States—a segregated section of 4 employees. War Department, Transportation Division—a segregated section of 5 employees. P. O. Separate Lunch Room Post Office Department—a segregated lunch room. "ITS ETHICAL ASPECTS" The Dallas (Tex.) Express says: "The National Benefit Life Ins. Co. purchased the impaired Standard Life Ins. Co. business and so manipulated its affairs as to place upon the policyholders the burden of caring for the tremendous sum of $1,608,563.66, the amount of the reserve found missing when the sale was made. Not a single policyholder has benefited by a single dollar of the money which they all are now called on to re-arrange their retirement agreement which commits them to an unprofitable course without a complete knowledge of the facts in the case. And The Express still maintains that though that procedure may have been strictly legal, certain of its ethical aspects are certainly open to question." GONE ABROAD TO STUDY GONE ABROAD TO STUDY.

Patronize Our Advertisers MERCER & MORRIS I SO YOU are "not going to buy any more clothes until fall?" One look at the picture of this white satin sports frock and how quickly that resolve is apt to weaken! It simply is not within the power or inclination of modern woman to resist anything so fascinating as this adorable sports-wear model. Anyway what's the small matter of a few yards of white satin, plus a few hours of sewing, compared to the joy and satisfaction of owning such a tricky two-piece as this. Perhaps you do not feel the urge to do your own sewing or to hire a seamstress these midsummer days. That need not stand in the way of acquiring a costume like the one in the illustration, or similar, for the sports-wear departments everywhere are making a speciality of white satin apparel, now that there is such a call for it. The vogue for white satin sports-wear fits in so snugly with the tide of summer style doings—for all the fashionable world is wearing white these days. It is a case of white from RAIN ENSEMBLES O CREPE DE CHINE V "PREPARE for a rainy day"—just what Dame Fashion is doing! For proof of it, behold the array of smart waterproof apparel which appears as if by magic, at the coming of every summer shower. The vivid notes of color which these gay ensembles of coat and hat and umbrella add to the scene act as an antidote to the gloom of mist and lowering clouds and downpour of rain. No wardrobe is complete these days without its quota of stylish rainy-day apparel and what stunning equipment the mode is turning out to protect from the rain. One of the very latest summer items is the rainbow cape. This is a long modified circular silhouette of gossamer weight and in dainty coloring which looks as if it had caught the tones and tints of the rainbow on its blue-of-the-sky background. The striking rain ensemble in the picture is of handsome ombre plaid rubberized crepe de chine—something very new and distinctive brought out GAZETTE Subscribe a crown to toe it one would be "trace chic." One's coat is either white cloth, or kilt or of crepe or satin to match the white frock underneath. One's shoes of white suede or glaze kid, one's handbag also—those of baka straw are charming and they can be scrubbed to look as immaculate as you please. White millinery? Of course! Maybe white felt, or white crochet visca, or a big floppy white crin transparent of brim. As to popular white fabrics for the frock — white wash satin—there's nothing finer for sports wear unless it be tubable white georgette in heavy weave. If for formal evening wear then choose white crepe satin, or filmy white chiffon or tulle. Yes, the shoulder flower, on the blouse in the picture is of white satin, too, as it should be, considering that the mode is so enthusiastic over corsege florals made of the identical material as that used for the frock. Some folks prefer one of the handsome white kid gardenias which are now so popular. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (© 1927, by Western Newspaper Union.) F RUBBERIZED ERY NEW AND CHIC this season, which is proving popular. It is fashionable to wear a hat to match the coat. The model which tops the coat in this illustration has a ripple brim and is warranted to add a touch of color beauty to even the most dismal of rainy-day scenes. Attractive three-piece sets for rainy weather include a coat and hat plus an umbrella. These are not necessarily expensive, for they are styled, some of them, very simply, to meet a thoroughly practical side of the question. Perhaps the greatest attempt toward fancifulness is in the umbrella handle, some of them being amusingly grotesque and highly colorful. Lovely for summer are light-weight rubberized satin coats, to be had in fascinating pastel tints. Snakeskin patterned waterproofs declare a last word trend. In these rainy weather ensembles children are also well provided for. Cunning juvenile sets are available which feature hat, coat and tiny umbrella. JULIA BOTTOMLEY E After Reading after Reading SERMON ON "JIM CROW" Salem Tutt Whitney Assembles and Publishes Some Facts That All Ought to Read Carefully and Ponder. A white gentleman, born in New Orleans, told me that he had no sympathy for the majority of Colored people. "They are as sineless as a jelly fish, as devoid of pride as a hog, as noncombative as a fishing-worm and as treacherous to each other as a Benedict Arnold. They will sacrifice their pride for a white man's smile; forfeit their independence for a suit of old clothes; perjure themselves and betray their fellows for the meanest sort of political job. They cry like a brood of motherless monkeys when the key to the solution of 'jim-crowism' is in their hands. All they need do is to refuse to be 'jim-crowed'. Stop riding 'jim-crow' trolley cars and trains, stay at home, walk or ride in their own cars. Stop patronizing 'jim-crow' stores, theaters, parks, fares and other places of business and amusements. To do so will inconvenience, but if they are not willing or strong enough to endure such things they don't deserve what they say they want. When the change ceases to flow into the 'jim-crow' baiter's pocket it won't be long before there will be a change in his viewpoint." When a new "jim-crow" measure is introduced, the promoters of it know that there will be a loud howl from those affected. "Let 'em holler," they say, "all they'll do is hold a few mass meetings, pass a score of meaningless resolutions and then forget all about it." If the howl is too prolonged they dish out their "jim-crow" bait; if it is a railroad, they issue free passes to the ministers, teachers and a few other leading (?) men and women. If it is a civic measure, the bait takes the form of jobs that are no longer desired by white men. The amusement "jim-crow" bait has already been described. Will Marry Her "Seal-Brown." MARY SCHWERN. Inglewood, Gifford. This village is still allogged over the river of Master Melville Leighton, high school grid star, and Virginia Meyers, (white). 911 Hyde Park Ave. The former Lincoln High student was arrested on a statutory charge, filed by the parents of the girl. Meanwhile she was being held by the juvenile authorities. In a statement to the Assistant District Attorney, Miss Meyers declared she had known Leighton for nearly two months, that she had often driven her car to school to meet him and that they had gone out together on several occa- tions. In spite of the state law, a relic of slavery, forbidding inter-marriage, Virginia has expressed determination to marry the youth and save him from prison, on the statutory charge. The two were arrested in the young woman's automobile. Leighton resides at 1284 E. 37th St., Los Angeles. Brutal, Cold-Blooded Murder Brutal, Cold-Blooded Murder. Tallahassee, Fla.—Henry Ridley, serving a four-year sentence from Volusia county for manslaughter, was found dead in a "sweat box" of a state road camp about two miles from Tallahassee, early Tuesday. A coroner's jury decided that Ridley "came to his death by natural causes, the exact nature of which was not known." A joke, of course! T. Foster, captain of the camp, told the jury that Ridley was sick and was given medical attention, and that he was placed in the "sweat box" when he refused to work. The "sweat box" is a wooden structure just large enough to hold a person standing upright used in road camps for disciplinary purposes. Killed the Pastor Ironton, O.—Rev. Oscar R. Williams, for four years pastor of the Quinn chapel A. M. E. church here, was shot to death by John Sinkford, porter, as he tried to start his auto-ride in front of the Sinkford home, last week. Sinkford shot six times and every shot took effec- tory arrests and told police he shot the pastor because he saw him with Mrs. Sinkford.
